Didsbury News, Events and Information

After only two months of Didsbury Food Market, Council bosses have suspended it following complaints from local bricks and mortar businesses in the village.

Didsbury businesses feel that their trade is severely impacted on days when the market runs and in one instance believe the impact was as much as £1000 in a single day.
